Disagree with Pope Shenouda huh? hmmm. I think HH and the Holy Synod are much more wiser then you or I Zoxasi and are guided by the Holy Spirit, I think any decision they de…
Hello, brothers and sisters! Happy Easter to all!
Brother Ioannes, what a beautiful and wonderful story you've told us. I don't want to sound selfish but, I think you must be one of the few who is lucky enough to come to the Kingdom of God in such …
I don't know much about the Egyptian Coptic Church, may God pardon me for my ignorance, but I know that all The Psalms of David are very, very important to the Ethiopian Tewahido Church and its pious followers. We love the Psalms of David, and we si…

The interesting thing, if we take your idea that we abandon the use of "Allah" in Arabic speaking countries, how in the world would you be able to Evangelise? You will have no …
Thanks guys for your words! Of course, I would denounce every hurt and hatred, or any anger. Is this possible? Yea. But, I also believe that this is not the time to pray for the enemies of God. We had over 1000 years to do so. Now is not the time to…
I may be wrong, and please pardon me incase I say something that upsets someone, but I think, Arab Christians, Copts in particular should give a thought of abandoning to call the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, our Lord Jesus Christ, with the name …

Thanks guys for your responses. Great suplementary information from Sheba. But, devote Muslims in Ethiopia never use the word „Egziabher“ for God. If they want to use it they change the phonetical sound to differ from Christians, or write it down in…
Hi all!
Please allow me to bring back this theme. It is amazing how the world is blind to go on tolerating such an apartheide society like in Malaysia. Please read below. Why do Christians over there insist on using "Allah" for God? Can't they just…
Hi all!
A good question, and good answers. But, I think, it probably would be good to tell "None of your business" "Sorry, but I can't tell you" - straight and honest.

Thanks, brother Hezkiel! Better late than never, I've seen it for a long time.
I find this subject very important in the current world. I don't understand why a lot of people do try to avoid race or faith related questions. How long are they going …

Let me ask you one question; Lucifer was created by God, right? So, was he created in God's image?…
Greetings to all! Intersting subject. "Racism", I think is our current understanding. In God's eyes the so-called "Race" doesn't exist. Let me ask you one question; Lucifer was created by God, right? So, was he created in God's image?
Thanks, guys for your response!
I still do think that this case is very serious, and whether it has got a political accent or not, soon we all have to deal with it. We are living in a secular world which is ruled by Satan.
Please do allow me to as…

Hello!
First, I would like to thank dear Hezkiel for posting those informative videos -- I am learning a great deal. I admire my Coptic Christian brothers and sisters who are struggling overcome all the tempations of Satan for the past 1400 years…
Greetings to all
Can you please tell me how Egyptian Coptic Christians relate to Southern Egypt "Nubians". What are the historical relationships between Coptic Christians and Nubians? Before Islam, Nubians used to be Christians -- so are there any …
Hello everyone!
I was just wondering what makes "Caucasian" societies believe that the "color" of a skin, or the so-called "racial" belonging of an individual is far more important than being a Christian? If we see the on-going wars in Iraq, Afghan…

Very interesting, even Science is proving the legacy of „Orthodoxy“. I think, Liberals within the Orthodox Church are advised to to question their Spiritual fitness.
Religions owe their success to suffering martyrs

Dear Axum, If you read my previous post carefully, I said, I don't say "Father" on the Internet. Internet is an unknown and dangerous world. Please be careful not to judge a person after reading a couple of sentences
Dear Peter,
Is that OK to address you so? Please do let me know if there is any other alternative to "Father".
I belong to The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Thanks
